One of the nicknames of the August full moon. The others: Green Corn Moon and the Grain Moon. The "Red Moon" is because of the viewing in some areas where there would be summer fog. "Green Corn Moon" and "Grain Moon" from Native American harvesting ceremonies. Also called the "Sturgeon Moon" by some fishing tribes due to the abundance of sturgeon fish in August.
The "Red Moon" is appropriate here...
Even though there are no forest fires around here currently, there is still smoke from the fires in the northwest US and Canada. The above photo is how it looks to your eye tonight.
